One of my favorites is Completely Free Software, run by Graham Pockett. He makes a point of listing only freeware, not limited-time or limited-feature shareware, and also notes ones to use caution with because they include things like adware. Also suggests work-arounds if there’s a way to avoid including the adware.
He starting charging a nominal annual membership fee a few years back to access the download portions of the site, but it’s well worth it – the programs themselves are free. And he runs his own payment service, so if there’s any problems at that end he can (and does) quite helpfully straighten them out for you.
By all means sign up for his weekly newsletter of new acquisitions, you don’t need a membership for that.
(Edit) As a P.S. note to the mods, this should probably get moved over to the General forum.
